Hey Chrissie1954,

I contacted the PR company that are handling the release of Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief and they say that there isn't going to be a UK premiere. Sorry.

Hi there
Does anyone know when The Ghost Writer is to be released in the UK?

[Jonesy]

It's supposed to be released here in April.

The Fourth Kind

Obviously rather expensive as a new release, so my question is simple. Is it worth seeing or not?

[Welchy]

I've only seen 1 or 2 star ratings for it :/

[morris]

that's what I thought. 'rent only'. Fanks welchy.

I have been searching (but with no success) to find movies at least vaguely similiar to this 2002 release of 'Catch Me If You Can' starring Leonardo DiCaprio & Tom Hanks

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_Me_If_You_Can

I really enjoyed this film, and I know its based on a true-story (obviously) and the plot/premise was fantasic for me personally. As I love watching all things relating to con-men, and people who intelligently pose as people their not in order to con/trick people - I just like it

So what I am after is any reccomendations to vaguely similiar films that I might enjoy with the same premise - con-men etc

Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Catch Me If You Can is a fairly unique film in some respects, actually in quite a few. But the films that spring to mind from the off are Welcome to Collinwood and Matchstick Men, but they are still way off the mark to be honest. Sorr, its all I can think off.

I googled "films about con artists" and found a list of over 40 films about con artists/hustlers at:

Here are a few from that list:

21
The Grifters
Heist
Boiler Room
The Spanish Prisoner
House Of Games
Shooting Fish

I love you Philip Morris - in cinemas now!

Not toally the same thing, but worth a viewing in my opinion.
